Pastor Matt

Makes your toes twinkle, huh, Bill?

Hi, there, people,
 
It's been quite a while since my last reply to this topic.
I'm here to say I was wrong, absolutely wrong and I thank you for putting me on the right track.
I have come to understand that it is Satan's ways and lies that deceive us and leads people like me astray very easily.
I have also come to learn that reading the Good Book is not as easy as one might think.
The Holy Bible is one of the most difficult books i have come to read and i have been working on it for a couple of years now and i am still learning something new every time i go back to a passage i have already read many a time!
The Holy Bible is also very rich with meaning and literary symbols. Again, one of the most difficult books to study and i hope i will be able to comprehend the Good Book one day soon. (Woking on it!)
Satan is there in every bend and every opportunity he can cling on to. One must be totally watchful of him. He is there in every breath! May the Lord Jesus Christ save us all.
Bless your hearts,
Totoo
PS: Thanks again and i am very humbled.

Your answer means that you are not sure if the meme is accurate or not yet. Someone could see that meme and not get the booster cuz they think it will last for years and then die. I hope that is not the case.
And yes, I have the super archers. I just see this meme as bad information.

I'll say it again, it bears repeating. A 99.8% recovery rate for ALL Covid cases, including the "at risk" and those with other medical problems does not constitute a pandemic!

Our church is having an old fashioned tent meeting next summer. We have a 500 seat tent coming in and I'm looking for some musical families to come in and sing.  Anyone have any recommendations for singers that would be great for tent Revival?

Kurt Labouve! My pastor brought him into our church for a Christmas special and he was wonderful to have

I will say what I've been saying all along. If the grocery stores, hardware stores, gas stations, and employers can be open... the the churches should be as well. 
Your statement @E Morales makes it sound like covid could only get transmitted in churches.  

It's all good in the Online Baptist hood my friend.
Anyways if it was about money, our doors would not be open. My decision to be open was what I felt God calling me to do after much prayer and fasting. Unless you or anyone can show me that God is telling me the opposite, I will will listen to Him!!!
...and nobody is forced to come, in fact we have more online viewers than in attendance (and our attendance is the highest in the history of our church)
I find it odd that some people that doesn't know the physical, mental and Spiritual health our our members, think its best to have closed doors. 

My wife and I continued to tithe even when the church was on lockdown. It shouldn't affect our giving.

"The tithes and offerings will go down, if we close the church..."
Curious, where do you get that information from? Our offerings went up during lockdowns and down since getting back to "normal". Every pastor that I've talked to in our area has pretty much said the same thing. 

Hmm who's writing these articles? According to my friends in the the middle east, they have not changed and even executed hundreds of Christians just last week, and have taken pastors daughters at 13-14 years old to rape and force marry.

The execution of leaving had no thought out plan other than getting on planes and leave, that was the problem. Of course doing the same execution in 5, 10, 15 or 20 years will produce the same result. However a well thought out execution that had American and our allies best interested in mind would have produced a better outcome and we'd not be talking about this right now. The execution is squarely on Biden's shoulders. 
Biden only cares about people not dying of covid, not by execution... well, that's part of the plan I guess.

That's the argument that Biden keeps having with himself. It's NOT that we pulled out of Afghanistan, its HOW we pulled out. That is the part Biden will not talk about. He just deflects back to the we should never have been there which he is correct, but nobody is arguing that part lol).  How this for a plan, evacuate people BEFORE the military pulls out. 
The blood of many is on his hands. Executed correctly, many lives could have been saved.

Did he say not to eat meat? I would like to know which verse.

My personal preference is dresses and skirts: I find them to be much more feminine and womanly. My wife, bless her, never wore pants in her adult life, even when working the farm, milking the goats, slaughtering animals, whatever. In winter she might wear sweatpants under her skirt, but that was it. Oddly, it was, before she was saved, a homosexual friend that convinced her that wearing dresses and skirts was more womanly.  
But again, while we do see the issue of men not wearing that which pertains to a woman, and vise-versa, we do need to consider how that fully plays out. Proper pants, looser-fitting, comfortable and neat, can be fine on a woman in the right circumstances and times. But it is true that in most societies, for hundreds of years, pants have generally been considered men's clothing, and dresses, women's clothing.  I believe we ought to seriously consider: What will best bring honor to God in my decisions? How far should the gap be made between male and female in the area of clothes, considering God created us male and female and expects us to show that clearly in all areas, including hair length and clothing styles. What will glorify God, not please my flesh?, that is what the real question is.
